Late Summer Evenings!


15 years ago when I was a young mother of two, I bought a house in East Vancouver. I remember calling up my family realtor, Sandy Riley and telling her that I wanted to buy a house in between Nanaimo and Clark, and Hastings and Broadway. She told me that she would call me in about six months. She did, we looked at three houses in a week and I put an offer on the first house we looked at. Three offers were put on the house and we got it!!!

15 years later, I still absolutely love this house and this is a photo of Christine and I on the back porch with the beautiful sky behind us. We love to spend time in the late summer with friends and family on the back porch and it is so nice to watch the sunset and enjoy the light summer breeze. Nowadays we have that cool breeze with the smell of autumn in the air. Time to organize and move forward. Kind of like the movie chocolat, go where the wind blows you. For me that is more of a metaphor than getting up and leaving town. I'm staying in this house and still going where the wind takes me. I am creative when I feel this way and the things I like to create most is foods. Watch for the latest ideas here, on facebook and at the bakery.

Life is good when you're growing and moving forward.
